The District 14 Enduro Series is comprised of a group of AMA chartered clubs and promoters engaged in the sponsorship and promotion of enduros. It is dedicated to the betterment of the sport of enduro riding and to providing the individual competitor with a quality, safe, challenging event. The following rules and guidelines will be used to govern enduro events in the District 14 enduro series.

As much as possible, D14 events should not be conflict with National Enduro dates.

There will not be more than one enduro sanction per week in District 14, except by consent of the enduro chairman.

Any D14 chartered club or promoter may apply for a D14 Enduro sanction. Applications will be considered by the enduro chairman.

Entry fee must be listed on any event advertisement.

All series run will have a 9:00 am key time unless clearly indicated otherwise in the event flyer.

The A 50+ class will ride the same course as the “A” classes. The 60+ and Women’s will ride the same course as the “C” classes.

All District enduro sanctioned events must run the full set of D14 enduro classes, with the exception of National enduros.

At National enduros that are also a D14 enduro sanctioned event, D14 enduro series members may enter any class tht is offered as long as it is appropriate for the rider classification (A rider must ride and A class, B rider must ride B class). For the purpose calculating D14 enduro series points, points will be given for the class the rider has chosen to ride in the District 14 Enduro series.

AA riders are strongly encouraged to ride the AA class provided at a National. If a D14 rider chooses to ride a class at a National other than the D14 class, they must notify the points keeper 30 days prior to the National event.

When riding a National Enduro, riders are responsible for ensuring that they ride the correct course length that is appropriate for their D14 class. E.g., Riding A 55+ at a National typically runs the “B” course. If the rider enters A 55+ a the National, but is running A 50+ in D14, they need to ride the “A” course at the National in order for their results to be transferred to the D14 A 50+ class correctly.

For Restart format events, Emergency checks will be scored by total minutes and seconds, and calculated from the top of a rider’s due minute. Scores will be tabulated by the actual number of minutes and seconds that a rider is late to an emergency check. Example: if you are due on minute 20, and come in at 21:30, your score is 1 “minute” and 30 “seconds” not 1 “Point” and 60 “Emergency Points”.

Row assignments

For all events, AA riders must ride on rows 21-40. One row position must be available on rows 21-40 for the AA riders. No row positions will be reserved for specific riders.

All promoting organizations are encouraged to provide a paid pre-entry system for all events. When there is a paid pre-entry system, a rider will be given the choice of requesting three rows in order of preference. For riders to request to be on the same row, their paid entries must be sent in together.

All other starting positions, including those assigned at event sign up, will be assigned and reserved only if there is an entry fee paid for the row being assigned.

The option of using the lottery system for row assignment is at the discretion of the event promoter.

If notification is made less than 30 days from the event date, or not at all, approval of worker points is at the discretion of the event promoter and Enduro Chairman.

The Points Keeper will confirm with the club/promoter after the event that all workers requirements have been met prior to awarding points.

h. If at the end of the series a tie exists, the winner will be determined by:

The rider with the highest point value in the corresponding Overall class.

If tie still exists, the rider having the most 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc., will be the winner.

If a tie stil exists, the points accumulated in all the events previously not counted (e.g., drops), regardless of whether the riders involved in the tie have competed in an equal number of events, will determine the winner.

If the tie still exists, the rider who had the better score at the last event in which all riders involved in the tie competed will be the winner.

If the tie still exists, and the riders did not compete directly against one another in any event, the rider who competed against the most entries in the class of all the accumulated events will determine the winner.

If the ties still exists, and the riders competed against the same number of riders in the series, the rider competing against the most entires in a single event will be the winner.

If the tie is in “Overall” and the riders did not compete against each other, both riders will be awarded the same position.

In the event a tie still exists, the winner will be determined by the D14 Enduro Chairman.

Worker points will be considered for the purpose of breaking a tie, but the worker points value will be equal to the rider’s best finish in the class for that season.

A banquet will be held after the series to present awards.

j. Riders must earn points in 60% of the events completed to qualify for year-end awards, at the discretion of the Enduro Chairman.
